about

A Groomer Who Treats Every Dog Like Family

Doggy Spaw by Karla was founded with one simple goal: to give dogs in Lebanon, KY, the same level of care and comfort we’d give our own pets. Built on patience, trust, and a genuine love for animals, our grooming salon offers more than just a haircut or a bath — it offers a calming experience for every pup who walks through our doors.



Owner Karla Hernandez has spent years working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Her gentle touch, steady hand, and warm personality have made Doggy Spaw a trusted name among pet parents throughout Marion County and beyond.

What Sets Us Apart

We offer a full range of grooming services to keep your dog looking and feeling their best:

Personalized One-on-One Grooming

Unlike high-volume salons, we give every dog our full attention. Each grooming session is customized to your pet’s coat type, behavior, and comfort level.

Calm, Quiet Environment

We keep our salon peaceful and low-stress by avoiding overcrowding and loud noise. This is especially helpful for anxious or senior dogs.

Local, Independent Business

We’re proud to be a woman-owned, small business rooted in the Lebanon, KY community. When you support Doggy Spaw, you’re supporting a neighbor who truly cares.

Our Story

Karla’s journey started the way many great stories do — with a deep love for animals and a desire to help them live better lives. After working hands-on with dogs and perfecting her grooming techniques, she opened Doggy Spaw by Karla to provide a safer, more compassionate alternative to large, rushed grooming shops.



From the beginning, the mission has been clear: give every dog a clean, calm, and caring experience, and give every owner peace of mind.


Today, Doggy Spaw continues to serve as a cozy, friendly spot where dogs are known by name — not by number.
